Chapter 130: Corning Grits His Teeth
Chapter 130
President Liu had eaten at this restaurant twice, and each time felt more uncomfortable than the last.
Fortunately, Li Xiaoya was small with a modest appetite, so she finished eating quickly.
As for Mr. Moore, he didn't seem particularly enthusiastic about eating either. He ate rather sloppily, without any regard for elegant table manners, almost like a wild beast devouring its prey.
So altogether, the meal only lasted about twenty minutes.
"Take him to the car," Ke Muning finally graced President Liu with a glance.
"Where are you taking me?" President Liu hurriedly asked.
Ke Muning said nothing, but one of his subordinates replied in English: "We're inviting you to be our guest."
Li Xiaoya blinked.
Suddenly, a large hand reached over, grabbing a napkin to wipe her mouth.
The people nearby noticed that this person's grip was far too strong, leaving a mark on the young girl's face.
But Ke Muning seemed completely unaware of this as he said, "I'll take you home."
So they were still going to her house?
Li Xiaoya tilted her head and asked, "Where are you going after this?"
Ke Muning laughed, "Do you want to come with me?"
Before Li Xiaoya could even respond or start to come up with an excuse, Ke Muning suddenly got excited and grabbed her from the chair: "Alright, let's go!"
And just like that, Ke Muning's group arrived at a villa in the suburbs.
This villa was rented temporarily, with many white birch trees planted in front. As they passed through the woods, President Liu was filled with fear, worried he might end up buried beneath them.
He could only clutch President Sun's sleeve and say, "You can't leave me!"
This left President Sun utterly confused: "President Liu, you've been acting strange lately... I have a wife, you know, and I quite like her."
President Liu could only swallow his bitter feelings.
When they entered the villa, there were already bodyguards waiting inside.
However, they were holding a box of Lego toys.
Ke Muning turned to Li Xiaoya and pointed at the Lego: "Play with these in the living room first, I have some business to attend to."
"Is it something I'm not allowed to see?" Li Xiaoya asked him directly.
Ke Muning said, "Mm, you're too young, you can't see it yet."
She could watch how a wealthy tycoon dies.
But this she couldn't see?
"I want to watch."
"No." Ke Muning was very firm now, when he said no, it meant no.
Li Xiaoya had no choice but to give up and obediently walk to the sofa on the side.
Immediately, two bodyguards went over to play with her.
The more President Liu watched, the more he felt this child was incredibly favored!
How did she end up surrounded by big shots?
The Zhou family must have used up eight lifetimes of bad luck to be her classmate in this life.
"Don't just stand there stupidly." Someone pushed him from behind, shoving President Liu into a room on the side.
Ke Muning had someone bring photos of the Wei Wenjuan brothers, which he enlarged on a laptop screen, then turned to President Liu.
"You said you had dinner with him a few days ago? Is this him?"
"Yes."
"Why were you dining together?"
"Because... we have a good relationship!"
"A good relationship?" Ke Muning frowned, "You've gained his trust?"
At this point, President Liu was treating Ke Muning as completely on their side, so what else could he say?
He quickly said, "Yes, yes."
The implication being that we're all on the same side, so please don't give me a hard time, right?
"That's very good. I'll give you three months to fully gain his trust, and convince him to go overseas to handle his father's affairs..."
"Ah... Ah?" President Liu was stunned, feeling like he might not have understood correctly.
"You don't want to?"
"No, it's not... quite right, is it?"
Ke Muning straightened up and waved to his subordinate.
The subordinate stepped forward, and without using any cruel methods, simply helped President Liu do a split.
President Liu, in his forties, had stiff joints, and this sudden split caused him to let out a pig-like squeal from his throat.
"How about now?" Ke Muning asked.
President Liu's legs were shaking.
What on earth did this Mr. Moore want to do?
"I, I... I don't know..."
Ke Muning stood up and walked towards the door: "I'm going to see if she likes the Lego."
He paused, then continued: "I didn't expect a randomly grabbed Hua Country person to have such backbone?"
President Liu let out another scream of agony behind him: "Ahhh!"
Backbone? President Liu had never been praised like this before.
But if he was being praised, why was he still being tortured?
Meanwhile, Ke Muning walked over to Li Xiaoya's side.
Li Xiaoya asked, "What did you do to him?"
"Don't worry, I would never violate the laws of your Hua Country."
After saying this, Ke Muning suddenly reached out and said, "This part is wrong."
Li Xiaoya firmly stated, "It's not wrong."
"It is..." Ke Muning directly reached out.
After pulling out two pieces, Ke Muning immediately got up and went back to continue his "interrogation."
Leaving behind the Lego bricks that collapsed with a "crash."
Li Xiaoya: "..."
Ke Muning seemed very pleased with his mischief, walking with a spring in his step.
His subordinates were all slightly dumbfounded.
What was wrong with the boss? Did he have to tease the child?
But then again, the boss had always been a bit crazy.
Ke Muning reopened the door and returned to the room.
Looking at President Liu again, he was covered in sweat, with tears and snot flowing down his face.
He really couldn't take it anymore and cried out in desperation: "What exactly do you want me to say? I absolutely wouldn't dare to do anything against you, Li Xiaoya, or President Wei! Is it because I hung up your call? Or do you want to get revenge for Miss Li? Young Master Sheng and the others haven't pursued the matter with me anymore..."
President Liu was crying out in the Hua Country language.
But because this "interrogation" was meant to be private, there was no interpreter present.
So a subordinate just held up a translation device.
"Take a look, sir." The subordinate handed the translation device to Ke Muning.
Ke Muning looked and found two unfamiliar names appearing.
Especially the phrase "get revenge for Miss Li," which seemed very odd.
The term "Young Master Sheng" was translated so peculiarly due to its unique form of address that Ke Muning glossed over it.
"Who is Miss Li?" Ke Muning asked.
President Liu's crying motion seemed to freeze as if someone had hit pause.
He felt that in these few short days, he had experienced more shocks than in his entire previous life.
Trembling, he said, "You don't know?"
Ke Muning lowered his eyes: "I hate it when people use rhetorical questions with me."
Hearing this, the subordinate was about to step forward again.
President Liu hurriedly shouted, "No, no! I'll tell you directly! The one outside is Miss Li!"
Ke Muning pursed his lips, also vaguely sensing something amiss.
But he still said, "She is Demon, not Miss Li."
"The name you mentioned must be her English name, right? Li Xiaoya is her Hua Country name. Li, Xiao, Ya. These three characters, I'll write them down for you... There must be a misunderstanding here. A misunderstanding!"
Ke Muning had someone bring him paper.
"You're so good to her, why are you still asking me to find President Wei?" President Liu wiped his tears, "What exactly do you want me to do?"
"What's her relationship with President Wei?"
"You don't know? No, no, I'm sorry, I shouldn't use rhetorical questions! It's just, President Wei is her uncle! At least that's what I heard them call him! This one, the one in the photo, is also her uncle!"
Ke Muning suddenly understood everything, and muttered through gritted teeth in Dutch: "So this is where she used her coquettish act on me..."
Then he abruptly opened the door and walked out.
She was indeed a little madwoman, and a clever one at that!
Such a small child daring to play games with him!
